We missed the peak of the mountain flower bloom (approx mid July) by about 3 weeks. But it was a beautiful hike never the less. The Skyline trail leaves right from the Paradise parking lot and loops around and back to the starting point. It's a pretty good climb, with a elevation change of 4200 feet in about 7 miles, 2100 feet up and 2100 feet back down. If you walk the trail in a clockwise direction you get the steep part going up. The decent in this direction is spread out over about 2/3 of the total distance. So if you want an easier climb, do it counterclockwise. We took about 80 pictures, but here are a few I thought you all might enjoy. Read a review of this hike here.  |

We enjoy Alpine hiking and I thought I would post a few pics from our hike last year on the Skyline trail.
